    What size line for s waver 168 & ganteral jr?

    I'm thinking 15lb fluorocarbon but might go to 17lb. Also I've been using red label but it's not available in 17 lb so I need some recommendations for 17lb. The reel I'm using holds 160 yards of 12lb so I'm thinking I should get about 130 yards of 15lb & 110 of 17lb on it.

    Id go 20 if around heavy cover.. both those work well high in the water column so you can get away with larger diamter line... i usually use 17 in open water

    I have some 20lb big game I'll spool up with that and see how it does.
